Andrew Lloyd Webber - Notes/twisted Every Way
RAOUL
We have all been blind
and yet the answer is staring us in the face
This could be the chance
To insnare our clever friend
ANDRE
We're listening
FIRMIN
Go on
RAOUL
We shall play his game
perform his work, bur remember we hold the ace
For if miss Daaé sings he is certain to attend
ANDRE
We are certain to close the bars
FIRMIN
We are certain the police are there
RAOUL
We are certain they're armed
ALL
The curtain falls - his reign will end
CHRISTINE (spoken)
Raoul, I'm frightened
don't make me do this
Raoul, he scares me
don't put me through this ordeal by fire
He'll take me, I know
We'll be parted forever
He won't let me go
What I once used to dream, I now dread
If he finds me it will never end
(singing)
And he'll always be there
singing songs in my head
He'll always be there
singing songs in my head
RAOUL
You said yourself
he was nothing but a man
Yet while he lives
he will haunt us 'till we're dead
CHRISTINE
Twisted every way
what answer can I give
Am I to risk my life
to win the chance to live
Can I betray the man
who once inspired my voice
Do I become his prey
do I have any choice
He kills without a thought
he murders all that's good
I know I can't refuse
and yet, I wish I could
Oh God, if I agree
What horrors wait for me
in this, the Phantoms opera
RAOUL
Christine, Christine
don't think that I don't care
But every hope and every prayer
rests on you know
We have all been blind
and yet the answer is staring us in the face
This could be the chance
To insnare our clever friend
